LOUDON, NH (September 21, 2025) – There was a strong New England feel Sunday for Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing. Ryan Preece returned to his home track roots while Brad Keselowski sported a commemorative Boston Red Sox paint scheme. Together, along with Chris Buescher, the RFK squad posted a resilient effort at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
6 Brad Keselowski
Brad Keselowski entered Sunday’s race at NHMS looking to build upon his strong second place finish a week ago in Bristol. After starting 17th in the Buildsubmarines Ford he quickly found himself battling for position. He and Bubba Wallace swapped spots multiple times as the stage wore on. A caution with just 8 laps remaining in the stage, allowed for pitstops, and set up a one lap dash to the scheduled break. Keselowski finished the stage 20th.
Keselowski restarted right where he finished Stage One, but an early caution provided opportunity for advancement. As others pitted the 6 car was able to gain track position. When racing resumed, there was aggressive racing. He again found himself jockeying for position, at one point in the midst of a three-wide race with Ross Chastain and Wallace. While that went with out incident, another skirmish resulted in damage. Keselowski and Shane Van Gisbergen made contact, sending the 6-car into the inside retaining wall. After multiple pitstops, repairs were made, before he finished the stage 30th.
Pitting between stages the team continued to work on the car’s left front and left rear. As Keselowski returned to the track, the car responded, picking up 4 spots in short order. Keselowski climbed as high as 4th during a round of green flag pitstops but surrendered the position when he made his stop and cycled back to 24th. He was able to make modest gains and finished 23rd.
“Yeah, I go together with (Van Gisbergen) in 1 and 2. I hit my inside left front tire into the wall and tore the car up,” said Keselowski. “We were just hanging on from there. I felt like we were probably a like a tenth place car and was probably trying a little too hard on the restart.”
